'rofALL WHoM rr MAY consumir Be it known that I, MICAJAH'O. GORDON, of Knights'town, in' Henry county; State of Indiana., have invented A u. new end usefulV Improvement in Churns and I do hereby declare :that the following is a. full, clear, and

making a. part of this specification, in which- FigureA 1 is aftruusverse sectional View, a-nd FigureQe. detached view of the dash and breaker- The sume letters being used in euch figure to represent identical parts.

A', g.h1,fis u churn, with uniform internal diameter; B, the dash-shaft, on which is the dash C, with 'tubes D D D, Ste., inserted in it. v E is the brealliver,A attached to shaft B, ebout four or ve inches above dash C. The dash lGis constructed of nearly the seme size-'us'the internal diameter of the churn, so as to work smoothly;

exact description -of the construction and operation ofthe same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,

vIn iig. 2, in dush C, areushwn the tubes D D D", & :.,dispersed over its surface. These tubes are two to four` inches long, according 'to size of churn. Their diameter at the bottoin is' vabout one inch, und at the top about.

three-quarters of an inch. The number of tubes will vary according to size of churn, but should be as numerous us courenent,und muy be made of metal or` any other suitable material; E, fig. 2, is a, breaker, in which Aholes are'madevto'correspond ivith intervals beti'veenftubes'D D, &c.,so as to let the milk 'easily pass ubovc or below the'breaker. y

The dnsh is operated by any of the usual inodes, such os theiever, cranlr, 35e., or by hand, and the milk Abeing forced rapidly and forcibly through'the tubcs`D D Dnr, die., is thrown injeis violently against the'breaker E,nnd the globules or particles containing the butter a're'broken", und the separation and collection of thc butter rapidly und thoroughly accomplished. The pussage oftho'xnilk through these tubes D Snc., gradually tapering, und consequently condensing the milk, and then violently forcing it up in columns, greatly facilitates this operation. This form of dash, tubes, Vund breaker may bc used in any kind of receptacle of uniform diameter.

` I do notcloim anything on the receptacle or b ody'of the churn, nor anythingi'in regard to Athe modo of operating the dasher-shn't, but only as above set forth. 4

What I claim as my invention, and desire to'sccuro by- Letters Patent, is-

1. The dash C, ivith'tubes D D D D", &c iig. Q, with gradually-tapering diameters, by lncuns of which dash4 and tubesthemilk is forced upward in jets, und the globules containing thebuttcr broken, and thereby the separation of the butter rapidly und cifect'uully accomplished, substantially ns undfor the purposes sot forth.

2. I claim t-hc dash C, tubes D D D D", Sec., fig. 2, in combination with breaker E, iig. 2, so arranged that the milk, when forced in jets through tubes D D D, 5to., in dnsh C, is violently thrown against the breaker E, und the breaking of the globules or particles of milk and thc separation ofthe butter therefrom are rapidly und eiectually accomplished, substantially-us and for the purposes set forth.
